AKRON, Ohio-A death note discovered in a classroom at Akron’s I Promise School has sparked controversy over the school’s response. A teacher found a note labeled “Death Note” containing a list of names, and while the administration was informed, no emergency protocols, such as locking down the building or contacting law enforcement, were initiated. Teachers have criticized the administration for downplaying the incident, expressing concerns for safety and urging a review of procedures. In response, Principal Stephanie Davis stated that the note was part of a playful gesture inspired by a popular anime, and no credible threat was identified. The student involved has been suspended, and counseling will be provided upon their return. The Akron School District has emphasized that all security concerns are taken seriously and investigated thoroughly, asserting that the incident does not reflect on the overall safety or integrity of the school.
